Plane makes emergency stop in Rochester
Staff reports • April 15, 2008
A flight from Syracuse to Detroit landed unexpectedly in Rochester for a short time this afternoon when the plane experienced a pressure problem.
The Northwest Airlines DC-9 aircraft, carrying 106 passengers and about five crew members, made an emergency landing at the Greater Rochester International Airport about 1:15 p.m., said Airport Director David Damelio.
The pressure problem stemmed from the tail of the plane, where it appeared a door was not closed properly, Damelio said. Air pressure in the cabin was not affected, Damelio said.
An alert was called at the airport at 1:09 p.m., Damelio said, and the plane landed safely a few minutes later. The plane did not stay in Rochester long before taking off for Detroit, he said.
My next choice will be MKE.
Wasn't there a SYR-DTW that divereted to ROC a few months ago? If so, that would be the first, repeat flight routing diversion & same diversion airport.The first post-merger emergency landing occurred today in Rochester, NY...this round's winner is groundcontrol with the closest pick of PHL.

I'll go back to the heartland and take Cedar Rapids, IA.
So the major f-ups are in SYR? First a hole and now this.
Sorry, but only NW mainline flights are considered for this thread. The only thing that this incident shows is that the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree when it comes to emergency landings...
Below is a separate article from the Canadian media about the incident (it is much more descriptive about the event):

Yes, this was a very good article. I love the part at the end about the compensation. Gee, inflight fire, descending 30,000 ft in 8 mins, here's 2 $100 vouchers, that probably can't even be combined.
Billings said the passengers were offered two $100 vouchers for travel with Northwest Airlines -- of which Compass Airlines is a wholly owned subsidiary -- which must be used separately.
